Satnav Switching off GPRS

[N95_Paul]

Hey all, stumbled across this site by searching way’s to get my N95’s SatNav to work. I’ve now scared myself with the cost of this thing!! 

 How do I stop it connecting to the GPRS way, is that the two arrow’s showing opposite ways? I ain't planned a route but loaded ‘map’s to try and get a lock, it finally did that today, but I don’t want to be paying £8 everytime I connect to Map’s/Satnav!  How do I stop Vodaphone taking my credit?

To stop the greedy maps application from eating all your GPRS allowance you need to:

• Open the MAPS application
• Press Options
• Press Settings
• Press Network
• Select "Use Network"
• Change this to "Never"
• Save your changes and Exit the MAPS application

thats fantastic mate cheer's!

Tip i found thoughis mine wouldnt change from When Needed to Never, so i had to put the phone offline then do it, work's a treat now, keep's telling me im not connected, did a test run of its GPS and it kept up...now my only thing is...

How do i get it to navigate? it says i got to buy the map's, fair do's but it also doesnt say anything about price's actually part of the disclaimer or when im about to purchase them, obviously i need UK but just how much is Vodaphone or its sublet for downloading map's going to charge me?

hey , you dont have to pay anything for maps, their FREE!!!! Just download the Nokia map loader from http://smart2go.com/en/help/maploader, install then pick the maps you want to put on the phone. Piece of cake
